Filter by:Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients are more likely to develop acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. In the acute phase, non invasive ventilation has been shown to improve mortality and reduce intubation rate. Few studies are available about long term benefits of home non invasive ventilation in COPD patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure who survived after an acute episode. The purpose of this study is to determine whether home non invasive ventilation can reduce recurrent acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in COPD patients who survived an acute hypercapnic respiratory failure episode treated by non invasive ventilation.
This study aims to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of RELVAR® 100 ELLIPTA® (hereinafter referred to as "Relvar") in daily clinical practice in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), who are naive to RELVAR. A total of 1000 subjects, from approximately 200 medical institutions, will be registered for this study and 332 of them will be considered for safety analysis. In the investigation, subject registration and data collection will be conducted using an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system. Post-registration, the investigator will monitor the information regarding the safety and efficacy of RELVAR for one year from the start date of treatment with RELVAR. Pneumonia, systemic effects caused by corticosteroids and cardiovascular events will be considered as the priority investigation matters. At the end of observation period, the investigator will enter the obtained information into the EDC system and submit it. RELVAR 100 ELLIPTA is the registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
Health literacy refers to personal and relational factors affecting a person's ability to acquire, understand and use information about health and health services. In a need assessment study it was found that, the health services need to focus on health literacy factors in the follow up of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thus, this project evaluate the effect a of a health literacy partnership health promotion intervention (hospital, municipalities, university) after discharge from hospital with the use of motivational interviewing and tailored follow-ups on re-admission, health literacy, self-management quality of life and cost in people with COPD compared with usual care.
A randomized, controlled pilot trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Abatacept in treating interstitial lung disease associated with the anti-synthetase syndrome.
The investigators are looking at the effect of humidified nasal high-flow with oxygen (HNHF-O2) on air exchange during exacerbations of COPD. HNHF-O2 therapy may have beneficial effects in patients with severe breathing impairment that results in low oxygen in the blood. Some studies show that patients with low blood oxygen levels who use HFNC oxygen have lower rates of needing mechanical ventilation.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the overall impact of Telehomecare on COPD and HF patients and system level outcomes using a comparison group of patients that did not participate in the program (for up to 18 months). This evaluation study will explore costs, participants' experiences, perceptions, and patterns of use related to Telehomecare. The study will include eight Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) across Ontario, Canada.
This study examines the effects of an exercise and behavioral program, called Active-Life, to promote physical activity in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A sedentary lifestyle is very common in older people with chronic disease and if this program is successful it will be used to promote physical activity and improve the health of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of CHF 5993 pMDI (fixed combination of extrafine beclometasone dipropionate plus formoterol fumarate plus glycopyrronium bromide) over Symbicort® Turbuhaler® in terms of pulmonary function, as well as to assess its safety.
In a randomized, sham-controlled trial the investigators will test whether supplemental oxygen given during cardiopulmonary exercise testing will improve exercise performance and physiological parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This is a 52-week, randomized, open and routine treatment controlled study. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of basiliximab as an add-on treatment for interstitial pneumonia in clinical amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) patients. 100 CADM patients are planned to be enrolled in a single center.
